PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
GENERAL
Ramsay Health Care, Inc. ("RHCI" or the "Company") is one of the
leading providers of behavioral health services in the country. RHCI offers
patient care through integrated networks of mental health delivery systems in
eleven states principally in the southeast and southwest built around 15
inpatient hospitals with 1,280 licensed beds (including medical subacute units
and residential treatment units), day hospitals, and outpatient centers. The
Company also operates mental health programs for public sector and private
owners under management contracts.
The Company's business strategy is to develop and operate integrated
behavioral healthcare delivery systems in the markets in which its facilities
are located. The integrated delivery systems being developed offer a
comprehensive range of behavioral healthcare services including inpatient
treatment, day and partial hospitalization services, group and individual
outpatient treatment, and residential and other less intensive services. The
Company is establishing such systems by using its hospitals as a base and by
arranging for other services through contracts or affiliations with physicians,
psychologists and other mental health professionals. Further, in some markets,
the Company is seeking to integrate through a joint venture or other affiliation
agreement with a significant acute-care provider lacking behavioral health
services in the vicinity of the Company's hospital. To date, no such agreements
of significance have been signed.
Effective April 24, 1995, the Company distributed, on a pro rata basis
in the form of a dividend, the common stock of its subsidiary, Ramsay Managed
Care, Inc. ("RMCI"), held by the Company, to the holders of record on April 21,
1995 of the Company's common and preferred stock (the "RMCI Distribution").
RMCI, which was formed in October 1993, manages the delivery of mental health
and substance abuse care and provides employee assistance and mental health and
substance abuse treatment programs for and on behalf of self insured employers,
health maintenance organizations ("HMOs"), insurance companies, government
agencies and other third-party payors. Subsequent to the RMCI Distribution,
RMCI ceased being a subsidiary of the Company.
FACILITY OPERATIONS
The Company's facilities are dedicated to the treatment of psychiatric
and chemical dependency disorders. Substance abuse treatment is provided to
patients who have a primary diagnosis of alcohol or substance abuse; however,
many of these patients have a secondary diagnosis of, and are treated for,
mental illness. Each facility also conducts outpatient programs within the
facility and within clinics located in the surrounding area. The Company
continues to seek ways to expand its outpatient network in its continued effort
to provide intermediate mental health care for patients who do not require
inpatient care.
The initial goal of acute psychiatric hospitalization treatment is to
evaluate and stabilize the patient so that effective treatment can be continued
either on an inpatient, partial
1
hospitalization or an outpatient basis. Under the direction of a psychiatrist,
the patient's condition is assessed, a diagnosis is made and prescribed
treatment follows. The treatment regimen utilizes, where appropriate,
medication, individual and group therapy, adjunctive therapy and family therapy.
The most common disorders for which adult patients are admitted to the
Company's hospitals are mood and affective disorders (such as depression),
schizophrenia, situational crises and alcohol and drug dependency. For children
and adolescents, common disorders include those seen in adult patients, as well
as attention deficit disorders and conduct disorders. Many of these disorders
are often associated with child abuse. The Company has evaluation and treatment
programs designed specifically for adults, adolescents and children. Specialized
programs focusing upon neuropsychiatric disorders and pain and sleep disorders
have also been developed. All units and programs emphasize family involvement in
the evaluation and treatment process.
Each psychiatric hospital has a multidisciplinary team of health care
professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses,
mental health and substance abuse counselors and therapists. Generally,
physician members of the professional staffs maintain a private practice. In
certain situations the Company guarantees minimum incomes, usually for one year,
to psychiatrists willing to relocate to certain facilities. All of the Company's
hospitals have a medical director who acts as liaison between the professional
staff and the hospital administration staff. In addition, each clinical program
has a medical unit administrator.
Each of the Company's hospitals has a consulting board, comprised of
hospital executives, consulting physicians and other members of the local
community, which is responsible for standards of patient care. A hospital CEO
supervises and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of each hospital.
The Company emphasizes frequent communication, the setting of operational and
financial goals and the monitoring of actual results against targeted goals. To
this end, the Company collects and analyzes information on key indicators such
as admissions by treatment program and payor category, daily census, full-time
equivalent employees per patient day and average length of stay. On the basis of
this information, the administrative staff of each hospital, together with the
corporate staff of the Company, adopts new programs and modifies existing
programs to improve performance.
All of the Company's hospitals have been accredited by the Joint
Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations ("JCAHO"). The JCAHO is
a voluntary national organization which undertakes a comprehensive review for
purposes of accreditation of health care facilities. In general, hospitals and
certain other health care facilities are initially surveyed by JCAHO within 12
months after the commencement of operations and resurveyed at appropriate
intervals thereafter. Of the Company's fifteen hospitals, three were resurveyed
in fiscal 1995 and 10 were resurveyed in fiscal 1994 and, in each instance, the
facilities retained their JCAHO accreditation for an additional three years.
The following tables summarize certain operating data related to (i)
the facilities currently operated by the Company and which were also operated by
the Company throughout the fiscal years referred to below ("same facilities")
and (ii) all facilities operated by the Company during the fiscal years referred
to below ("all facilities"). However, Three Rivers
2
Hospital, which was closed on June 30, 1995, is included in the same facilities
and all facilities statistics.

MANAGED CARE DIVISION
RHCI, through its subsidiary RMCI, entered the managed mental health
business in October 1993 with the acquisition of Florida Psychiatric Management,
Inc. ("FPM") for a purchase price of $6.5 million. The managed care division
expanded in June 1994 with the acquisition of a Phoenix, Arizona-based managed
mental health business. During fiscal 1995, RMCI expanded its operations to
Hawaii and West Virginia and obtained a license to operate (and began
developing) a health maintenance organization in Louisiana.
In October 1994, RHCI announced plans to distribute its holdings of
common stock of RMCI to the holders of the Company's common and preferred stock.
At that time, the Company also announced that RMCI completed a private placement
of its common stock, which reduced the Company's percentage stock ownership in
RMCI from approximately 97% to approximately 58%. On April 24, 1995, the Company
distributed, on a pro rata basis in the form of a dividend, the common stock of
RMCI held by the Company to the holders of record on April 21, 1995 of the
Company's common and preferred stock. Subsequent to this distribution, RMCI
ceased being a subsidiary of the Company.
COMPETITION
At June 30, 1995, the Company operated 15 inpatient facilities in 11
states. The Company's facilities are located in rural areas and in suburban
areas of large metropolitan cities. Each facility competes with other
facilities, including proprietary free-standing hospitals, not-for-profit
hospitals, governmental free-standing hospitals and psychiatric units of acute
care hospitals. Some of these other facilities are larger and have greater
financial resources than the Company's hospitals. In addition, some of these
competing hospitals are substantially exempt from income and property taxation.
The Company's outpatient centers are generally located in the areas surrounding
its inpatient facilities and compete with private practitioners, community
mental health centers, and other companies which provide outpatient services in
the markets in which the Company's outpatient centers are doing business. The
number of behavioral health service competitors located within each of the
Company's service areas varies significantly. Also, in certain markets, the
Company treats certain patient populations (e.g., adolescents or geriatrics) or
provides services which are different from those provided by the Company's
competitors in the particular market. The Company does not consider any of the
behavioral health service competitors in its markets as dominant providers that
place the Company at a competitive disadvantage.
The ability of a psychiatric facility to compete with other facilities
depends on the number and quality of psychiatrists and clinical psychologists
practicing at the facility, and the number, type and quality of other
psychiatric facilities in the area. Another factor affecting the competitiveness
of psychiatric facilities is the extent to which the facility's clinical
programs satisfy community needs in an effective manner from both a clinical and
an economic standpoint. The Company believes that the quality of its
professional staff as well as the quality and effectiveness of its programs
permit it to compete effectively with the other providers of psychiatric and
chemical dependency care in the communities served by the Company's facilities.
4
In addition, the Company's facilities actively seek relationships with managed
care companies, which are increasingly responsible for steering patients to high
quality, cost-effective providers of behavioral health care.
Prior to the RMCI Distribution, RMCI competed directly with
independent local and national entities that offered managed mental health care
services, as well as with large insurance companies, health maintenance
organizations and other provider groups that have established or acquired
managed mental health care capabilities. In addition, RMCI competed with not-
for-profit health plan corporations, preferred provider organizations, other
provider networks and third party administrators. Certain of these operations
and facilities have substantially greater financial resources than RMCI and
offer a wider range of services than RMCI.
INDUSTRY TRENDS
The Company's hospitals have been adversely affected by factors
influencing the entire psychiatric hospital industry. Factors which affect the
Company include (i) the imposition of more stringent length of stay and
admission criteria by payors; (ii) the failure of reimbursement rate increases
from certain payors that reimburse on a per diem or other discounted basis to
offset increases in the cost of providing services; (iii) an increase in the
percentage of its business that the Company derives from payors that reimburse
on a per diem or other discounted basis; (iv) a trend toward higher deductibles
and co-insurance for individual patients; and (v) a trend by self-insured
employers and managed mental health organizations toward limiting employee
health benefits, including annual and lifetime limits on mental health coverage.
In response to these conditions, the Company has (i) tightened its staffing
levels within its facilities, particularly in the areas which are not directly
responsible for the provision of patient care, (ii) renegotiated contracts to
reduce other operating expenses within its facilities and (iii) developed
strategies to increase outpatient services and partial hospitalization programs
to meet the demands of the marketplace.
SOURCES OF REVENUE
The Company's facilities receive payments from third-party
reimbursement sources, including commercial insurance carriers (which provide
coverage to insureds on both an indemnity basis and through various managed care
plans), Medicare, Medicaid, the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the
Uniformed Services ("CHAMPUS") and Blue Cross, in addition to payments directly
from patients.
Third-party reimbursement programs generally reimburse facilities
either on the basis of facility charges (charge-based), on the basis of the
facility's costs as audited or projected by the third-party payor (cost-based),
or on the basis of negotiated rates (per diem-based). Generally, charge-based
programs are more profitable to the Company. The following table sets forth, by
category, the approximate percentages of the Company's consolidated gross
patient revenues charged by the Company's facilities derived from various
sources for the periods indicated.

=== === ====
Most commercial insurance carriers reimburse their policyholders or
make direct payment to facilities for charges at rates and limits specified in
their policies. Patients generally remain responsible to the facilities for any
amounts not covered under their insurance policies. The trend in reimbursement
for psychiatric inpatient and chemical dependency care by commercial insurance
carriers is to limit inpatient days to a maximum number per year or for the
patient's lifetime, or to limit the maximum dollar amount expended for a patient
in a given period.
Most third-party payors and other commercial carriers have also
expanded benefit coverage to include partial hospitalization and other
outpatient services. Partial hospitalization is formally recognized by Medicare
and CHAMPUS as a covered service. In addition, managed care companies are
seeking to contract with providers that offer the full spectrum of psychiatric
care.
Medicare is the federal health insurance program for the aged and
disabled. Medicare reimbursement is typically less than the Company's
facilities' established charges for services provided to Medicare patients.
Patients are not responsible for the difference between the reimbursed amount
and the facilities' established charges other than for applicable noncovered
charges, coinsurance and deductibles. In 1983, Congress changed the Medicare law
applicable to Medicare reimbursement for medical/surgical services from a
retrospectively determined reasonable cost system to a prospectively determined
diagnosis-related grouping ("DRG") system. Psychiatric and chemical dependency
hospitals and units are exempt from the DRG reimbursement system.
Medicare reimbursement to exempt psychiatric and chemical dependency
hospitals and units is currently subject to the payment limitations and
incentives established in the Tax
6
Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 ("TEFRA"). These facilities are
paid on the basis of each facility's historical costs trended forward, with a
limit placed on the rate of increase in per case reimbursable costs. These TEFRA
"target" rates are updated annually. Facilities with costs less than the target
rate per discharge are reimbursed based on allowable Medicare costs plus an
additional incentive payment. Beginning in the federal fiscal year 1992 and
continuing through June 30, 1995, providers with costs exceeding their target
rates are subject to a payment ceiling of the target amount plus the lesser of
5% of the target amount or 50% of the amount in excess of the target amount.
Exemptions and exceptions are available to hospitals when events beyond the
hospitals' control result in an increase in costs for a reporting period.
Moreover, "new hospitals" are eligible to be exempt from the limits until they
have been in operation for three years. At June 30, 1995, 14 of the Company's
facilities were subject to the TEFRA provisions.
The Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA") has implemented
changes to Medicare covering inpatient services which are reimbursed under
TEFRA. These changes provide for an increase to the TEFRA payment limitations,
subject to annual revision. However, since 13 of the Company's 14 facilities
which are subject to the TEFRA payment limitations are currently operating at
cost levels below their respective TEFRA payment limitations, any increase in
the TEFRA payment limitations has a minimal effect on the Company's results of
operations. In addition, each year HCFA modifies the fee reimbursement schedules
related to physician services. While these changes affect Medicare reimbursement
paid directly to physicians, they do not affect the rate of Medicare
reimbursement to the Company's facilities. These changes in physician
reimbursement have had only a minimal effect on the Company's results of
operations since most of the physicians practicing at the Company's facilities
bill their fees directly.
Medicaid is the federal/state health insurance program for the
underprivileged. Subject to certain minimum federal requirements, each state
defines the extent and duration of the services covered by its Medicaid program.
Moreover, although there are certain federal requirements governing the payment
levels for Medicaid services, each state has its own methodology for making
payment for services provided to Medicaid patients. Various state Medicaid
programs cover payment for services provided to Medicaid patients at 14 of the
Company's facilities. During fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company
received significant payments from State Medicaid programs pursuant to enhanced
reimbursement rates under certain state "disproportionate share" programs.
Disproportionate share payments were severely restricted by Congress effective
July 1, 1995. Accordingly, the Company expects that any future payments made
under this program will be minimal. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Results of
Operations."
Acute psychiatric services for CHAMPUS patients are reimbursed on a
prospectively determined per diem basis. For the Company's high volume
facilities (as defined by CHAMPUS), 1991-1992 rates were fixed at 1988 levels
subject to an all-inclusive cap of $714 per day. This capped rate is higher than
the Company's net revenue per patient day for all of the Company's acute
psychiatric services. The Company's low volume facilities (as defined by
CHAMPUS) are reimbursed at prospectively determined per diem rates established
on a regional basis. These regional rates are lower than the hospitals'
established charges. However,
7
CHAMPUS revenues in these low volume facilities were an insignificant portion of
the Company's consolidated gross revenues for the fiscal years ended June 30,
1995, 1994 and 1993.
Residential treatment center ("RTC") reimbursement for CHAMPUS
patients is currently capped on a per diem basis at the lesser of $477 per day
or an inflation adjusted hospital-specific rate based on per diem rates
generally paid as of June 30, 1988. These rates are adjusted annually each
October 1 for inflation. The legislated reimbursement cap is higher than the
Company's CHAMPUS net revenue per patient day for the Company's two CHAMPUS
certified RTC facilities. Consequently, the CHAMPUS RTC reimbursement cap did
not adversely affect the Company's CHAMPUS RTC net revenues in the fiscal years
ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993.
In 1991, Congress imposed a reduction in the annual reimbursable
length of stay for patients covered under the CHAMPUS program. Effective
October 1, 1991, CHAMPUS began to limit its coverage for hospital psychiatric
services to 30 days for adult patients, 45 days for child and adolescent
patients and 150 days for RTC services, subject to waivers which are available
under limited circumstances if an extension of the length of stay can be
justified. The lengths of stay currently experienced by the Company on CHAMPUS
adult, child and adolescent beneficiaries have generally been within the above
limits. Given that certain of the Company's facilities are located in close
proximity to major military installations, these limits have reduced the volume
of CHAMPUS patients treated at the Company's facilities. As set forth in the
above table, the amount of the Company's patient revenues attributable to
CHAMPUS have decreased from 10% in fiscal 1993 to 5% in fiscal 1995.
Blue Cross plans in all areas in which the Company presently operates
facilities, except Alabama and Michigan, reimburse based on charges or
negotiated rates. In many states in which the Company operates, Blue Cross
charges are approved through a rate-setting process and, therefore, Blue Cross
may reimburse the Company at a rate less than billed charges. Under cost-based
Blue Cross programs, such as those in Alabama and Michigan, direct reimbursement
to hospitals typically is lower than the hospital's charges, and patients are
not responsible for the difference between the amount reimbursed by Blue Cross
and the hospital's charges.
Prior to the RMCI Distribution, the subsidiaries of RMCI typically
charged each customer a monthly fee for each beneficiary enrolled in the
customer's mental health benefit program. Depending upon both the type of
program from which a customer contracted and the benefits covered under such
program, the fee arrangement was designed so that, with respect to both
inpatient and outpatient care, RMCI accepted either full risk (all services
capitated), as is generally the case, partial risk (selected services capitated)
or limited risk (full risk up to a maximum amount) for costs that exceed the
fees attributable to such program. See "Item 1. Business -- Managed Care
Division."
8
MARKETING
The Company's marketing programs are directed to referral sources
within a selected service area rather than to the general public and are
designed to increase awareness of a facility's programs and services. Referral
sources include psychiatrists, medical practitioners, managed mental health
organizations, courts and probationary officers, law enforcement agencies,
schools and clergy. Each facility's marketing staff, together with other
facility personnel, maintains direct contact with referral sources to meet the
needs of the referral sources. These needs may be related to a desired treatment
program, the desires of the patient's family, hospital policies or the timely
receipt of accurate information. Each facility establishes admission targets for
each referral source and results are monitored and evaluated at the facility and
by the corporate staff.
Prior to the RMCI Distribution, marketing of RMCI's services was
provided at both a regional and national level. The RMCI regional offices
employed marketing personnel to interface with existing and potential customers
in the immediate area and surrounding networks. RMCI's offices in Florida
employed a national marketing team which coordinated regional marketing efforts
and directed its national marketing strategies.
RMCI focused its marketing and sales efforts primarily on insurance
carriers, nonprofit health care corporations, HMOs, government employee groups
and self-insured employers. RMCI also targeted employee benefit consulting
firms that represent employers and groups of employers in the selection and
purchase of managed mental health care benefit programs. Typically, RMCI
marketed its services to the potential customer's senior operating and marketing
staff, medical director or health care managers. See "Item 1. Business --
Managed Care Division."
REGULATION
Operations of psychiatric hospitals are subject to extensive federal,
state and local government regulation, including periodic inspection and
licensing requirements. This regulation is primarily concerned with the fitness
and adequacy of the facility, equipment and personnel, standards of medical care
provided, the dispensing of drugs and the adequacy of fire prevention measures
and other building standards. In addition, the admission and treatment of
patients at the Company's hospitals are subject to certain state regulation
regarding involuntary admissions, patient rights and the confidentiality of
patient medical records.
The Company believes that federal and state regulation may become more
comprehensive and restrictive in the future, particularly with respect to
reimbursement rates. In addition, numerous healthcare reform proposals have been
and are expected to continue to be introduced in Congress. The Company cannot
predict the form or timing of any prospective legislation or regulation, nor the
effect which any legislation or regulation might have on its revenues or
profitability.
9
Capital expenditures for the construction of new facilities, the
addition of beds or the acquisition of facilities or medical equipment are
reviewable by governmental authorities in certain states in which approximately
half the Company's facilities are located. State certificate of need or similar
statutes provide generally that prior to the construction of new beds or
facilities or the introduction of a new service, a state agency must determine
that a need exists for those beds, facilities or services. A certificate of
need is generally issued for a specific maximum amount of expenditures, number
of beds or services to be provided and the holder is generally required to
implement the approved project within a specific time period. In most cases,
state certificate of need or similar statutes do not restrict the ability of the
Company or its competitors from offering new or expanded outpatient services.
Except for Arizona, Texas, Louisiana and Utah, all of the states in which the
Company operates facilities have adopted certificate of need or similar
statutes.
Federal law contains a number of provisions designed to ensure that
services rendered by health care facilities to Medicare and Medicaid patients
are medically necessary, meet professionally recognized standards and are billed
properly. These provisions include a requirement that admissions of Medicare and
Medicaid patients to hospitals must be reviewed in a timely manner to determine
the medical necessity of the admissions. In addition, the Peer Review
Improvement Act of 1982 ("Peer Review Act") provides that a hospital may be
required by the federal government to reimburse the government for the cost of
Medicare paid services determined by a peer review organization to have been
medically unnecessary. Each of the Company's hospitals has developed and
implemented a quality assurance program and implemented procedures for
utilization review and retrospective patient care evaluation to meet its
obligations under the Peer Review Act. As a result of legislation passed in
Texas in September 1993 and as described below, Peer Review Organizations
("PRO's") in that state began applying extremely restrictive interpretations to
the medical necessity of admissions and other services. Consequently,
significant amounts of the Texas facilities' charges in fiscal 1994 were denied
by such organizations until the facilities gained a full understanding of the
PRO's interpretations and modified their internal systems accordingly. Charges
denied in the Company's Texas facilities in fiscal 1995 were less than 2% of
these facilities' gross charges in such fiscal year.
To be covered by CHAMPUS, RTC services must be preauthorized as being
medically necessary. Effective October 1, 1991, hospital psychiatric services
are also required to be preauthorized. If the criteria for establishing medical
necessity are not met or the services are not preauthorized, CHAMPUS will not
pay for the services provided.
The Defense Appropriations Act of 1991 provides that no funds will be
appropriated for CHAMPUS care when a patient is referred to a provider of
inpatient mental health care or residential treatment care by a medical or
health care professional having an economic interest in the facility to which
the patient is referred. The Medicare and Medicaid Anti-Fraud and Abuse
Amendments (the "Amendments") to the Social Security Act prohibit individuals or
entities participating in the Medicare or Medicaid programs from knowingly and
willfully offering, paying, soliciting, or receiving remuneration in order to
induce referrals for items or services reimbursed under those programs. The
policy objective of the Amendments is
10
to ensure that the purpose for a referral is quality of care and not monetary
gain by the referring individual. The Amendments' prohibitions only apply to
Medicare and Medicaid patients and impose felony criminal penalties and civil
sanctions, as well as exclusion from the Medicare or Medicaid programs. In 1989,
CHAMPUS adopted regulations authorizing it to exclude from the CHAMPUS program
any provider who has committed fraud or engaged in abusive practices. The term
"abusive practices" is defined broadly to include, among other things, the
provision of medically unnecessary services, the provision of care of inferior
quality, and the failure to maintain adequate financial or medical records. The
Company believes that it is in compliance with all aspects of these regulations.
The Company has entered into various types of agreements with
physicians and other health care providers in the ordinary course of operating
its facilities, many of which provide for payments to physicians or other health
care providers by the Company as compensation for services or other
consideration by the providers. In order to provide guidance to healthcare
providers with respect to the statute that makes certain remuneration
arrangements between hospitals and physicians and other healthcare providers
illegal, the United States Department of Health and Human Services (the
"Department") issued regulations in 1991 outlining certain "safe harbor"
practices, which, although potentially capable of inducing prohibited referrals
of business, would not be subject to enforcement action under the illegal
remuneration statute. The practices covered by the regulations include, among
others, certain investment transactions, lease of space and equipment, personal
services and management contracts, sales of physician practices, payments to
employees and waivers of beneficiary deductibles and co-payments. Additional
proposed safe harbors were published in 1993 by the Department.
Although a relationship that fails to satisfy a safe harbor is not
necessarily illegal, that relationship will not be exempt from scrutiny under
the Amendments. The Company believes that its agreements and arrangements in
this area comply with the Amendments or are otherwise protected under the safe
harbors provided. However, there can be no assurance that (i) government
enforcement agencies will not assert that certain of these arrangements are in
violation of the illegal remuneration statute or (ii) the statute will
ultimately be interpreted by the courts in a manner consistent with the
Company's practices.
Several states and the Federal government have been investigating
whether psychiatric hospitals have engaged in fraudulent practices such as
inflating bills for medications and services, billing for services never
rendered and admitting patients, especially children, who do not require
hospitalization. In 1991, the Texas Attorney General disclosed that several of
the Company's competitors doing business in Texas were under investigation for
fraudulent practices and a lawsuit seeking injunctive relief was filed against
one of those competitors. This led to the passage of legislation in Texas,
effective September 1, 1993, that placed severe restrictions on the marketing of
behavioral health care services. In general, the legislation prohibits certain
advertisement and solicitation techniques. Specifically, advertisements may not
promise a cure or guarantee treatment results that cannot be substantiated, and
mental health intervention and assessment services must be available and
properly credentialed before they are advertised. The
11
legislation also requires disclosure of any relationship between the treatment
facility and its referral sources and prohibits a referral service from holding
itself out as a qualified mental health referral service without complying with
the legislation's definition of such (which requires, among other things,
compliance with regulations regarding confidentiality, participation in and
staffing of the referral service and payments to referral sources). Violation of
the legislation may result in injunctive relief and civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per violation. In June 1993, the Company signed an agreement with the
Texas Attorney General whereby it agreed to continue to comply with Texas
statutes regarding marketing and operating standards applicable to all
psychiatric hospital companies.
ACQUISITIONS, SALES AND LEASE COMMITMENTS
In November 1992, the Company purchased a 64-bed hospital facility in
Covington, Louisiana for $2,000,000. The facility, Three Rivers Hospital, opened
in January 1993 and, on June 30, 1995, the hospital was closed due to reduced
patient volume and projected negative operating margins and its operations were
consolidated with the Company's facility located less than five miles away. See
"Ownership Arrangements and Operating Agreements" and "Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--
Results of Operations."
In January 1993, the Company leased Harbor Oaks Hospital in Fort
Walton Beach, Florida to another health care provider for a period of three
years. The lease gives the lessee the option to renew the lease for a specified
period or purchase the facility at a price equal to the current recorded book
value of the facility; however, the lessee failed to timely exercise the renewal
option. The Company is currently in negotiation with the lessee regarding the
terms of this lease. Should the lease not be renewed or the purchase option not
be exercised, the Company would take possession of the building and evaluate its
business alternatives with respect to this property.
In August 1993, the Company sold its inpatient facility (Cumberland
Hospital) in Fayetteville, North Carolina to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center for
approximately $12.3 million. The decision to sell this facility occurred in
June 1993, at which time the facility's basis of accounting was changed from the
going concern basis to the liquidation basis. As a result, the July and August
1993 operating results of Cumberland Hospital were recorded as part of the loss
on sale of this facility in the Company's June 1993 financial statements and the
net revenues and expenses of Cumberland Hospital were not included in the
Company's operating results for the year ended June 30, 1994.
In October 1993, the Company, through its subsidiary RMCI, entered the
managed mental healthcare business by acquiring the stock of FPM. This business
subsequently expanded through an additional acquisition in June 1994 and through
on-going development efforts. As noted elsewhere in this report, in April 1995,
the Company distributed the common stock of RMCI held by it to the holders of
its common and preferred stock.
12
In February 1994, the Company sold its 50-bed Atlantic Shores Hospital
in Daytona Beach, Florida to Halifax Medical Center for $4.8 million.
In April 1995, the Company consummated a sale/leaseback transaction
whereby the Company sold the land, buildings and fixed equipment of two of its
inpatient facilities (Desert Vista Hospital in Mesa, Arizona and Mission Vista
Hospital in San Antonio, Texas) for $12.5 million and agreed to lease this
property back over a term of 15 years (with three successive renewal options of
five years each). The leases, which are treated as operating leases under
generally accepted accounting principles, require aggregate annual minimum
rentals of $1.54 million, payable monthly. Beginning April 1, 1996, the lease
payments are subject to any upward adjustment (not to exceed 3% annually) in the
Consumer Price Index over the preceding 12 months.
In March and April 1995, the Company sold certain real estate located
in Flagstaff, Arizona and Houston, Texas. These properties were initially
acquired for development approximately 10 years ago and, as of the date of sale,
the properties had an aggregate book value of $1.15 million. Total net proceeds
from the sales of this real estate approximated $0.75 million.
Effective April 1995, the Company agreed to lease an 80-bed facility
near Salt Lake City, Utah from Charter Medical Corporation for four years, with
an option to renew for an additional three years. The lease, which is treated
as an operating lease under generally accepted accounting principles, requires
annual base rental payments of $456,000. In addition, the lease provides for
percentage rent payments to the lessor equal to 2% of the net revenues of the
facility, payable quarterly.
IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement Number 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" (the "Statement"). Although the
Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, the
Company elected to adopt the Statement in its fiscal 1995 fourth quarter.
As required by the Statement, the Company reviewed the long-lived
assets (land, buildings, fixed equipment and related cost in excess of net asset
value of purchased businesses) of each of its inpatient facilities to determine
if the carrying value of these assets was recoverable, based on the future cash
flows expected to be generated by each facility. Based on this review, the
Company determined that the carrying value of long-lived assets associated with
four facilities was impaired. The amount of the impairment, calculated as the
excess of carrying value of the long-lived assets over the discounted future
cash flows expected from the assets, totalled $20.3 million. See "Item 8.
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
13
The Company is a minority stockholder in an enterprise which operates
primary care medical clinics on United States' military bases in Germany. Based
on a reassessment of the future expected cash flows to be realized by the
Company from this business in June 1995, the Company recorded a fourth quarter
impairment to the carrying value of the investment totalling approximately $1.5
million.
OWNERSHIP ARRANGEMENTS AND OPERATING AGREEMENTS
One physician owns a 5% interest in the subsidiary which owns the
Company's Harbor Oaks Hospital. The Company may be required to repurchase, and
the minority shareholder may be required to sell, the minority interest at a
formula price dependent upon many factors, including the earnings per share of
the subsidiary which owns the subject hospital and the price/earnings multiple
of the Company, after a fixed period of time. Although the amount of the
Company's repurchase obligation cannot be precisely determined, the Company does
not believe that this obligation will require a material payment by the Company
in the foreseeable future.
In 1985, the Company and Bethany General Hospital in Bethany, Oklahoma
entered into a joint development project. The general hospital and the Company
hold a joint certificate of need by which they have converted 23
medical/surgical beds to psychiatric beds, and constructed a psychiatric
pavilion containing an additional 20 psychiatric beds. Pursuant to a joint
venture agreement entered into in December 1985, the Company began managing the
23 existing beds in December 1985 and completed construction of the 20-bed
pavilion in October 1986. Under the joint venture agreement, the Company is
obligated to provide working capital to operate the 43-bed psychiatric unit. The
Company may, at its option, continue to operate and manage the unit in three-
year terms for an additional nine years. The Company is entitled to an annual
management fee of 5% of the unit's gross revenues and 65% of the net profits or
losses of the unit. The agreement also provides that the Company will recover
construction costs amortized over 15 years and working capital advances from
operating revenue, unless the Company does not renew or breaches the agreement.
In November 1992, the Company formed a limited partnership to operate
Three Rivers Hospital, a 64-bed facility located in Covington, Louisiana.
Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, the Company, as general
partner, had a 55% interest in the operations of the business and limited
partners maintained a 45% interest. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
owns the facility and leased it to the partnership at $276,000 per annum. Due
to reduced patient volume and projected negative operating margins, the Company
exercised its right as general partner to terminate the business and, effective
June 30, 1995, Three Rivers Hospital was closed.
14
INSURANCE
The Company and its facilities are insured on a "claims made" basis
for professional and general liability incidents in the aggregate amount of
$25,000,000, with a self-insured retention of $500,000 per claim. The Company's
self-insurance program also includes "tail" coverage for prior acts retroactive
to the date on which the Company could become responsible for such acts. This
prior occurrence coverage operates with the same self-insured retention level.
It is the Company's policy to record the liability for uninsured professional
and general liability losses related to asserted and unasserted claims arising
from reported and unreported incidents based on independent valuations which
consider claim development factors, the specific nature of the facts and
circumstances giving rise to each reported incident and the Company's history
with respect to similar claims.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 1995, the Company employed approximately 1,790 full-
time and 1,520 part-time employees at its facilities, including approximately
790 nurses. In addition, the Company has a corporate headquarters staff of
approximately 30, which includes individuals who specialize in various areas of
hospital operations to assist facilities with particular management issues. The
Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operating revenues of the facilities are affected by changes in the
rates the Company charges, changes in reimbursement rates by third-party payors
and changes in the number of patient days in the period. Patient days are
represented by the number of admissions multiplied by the average length of stay
of all patients. Accordingly, increases in admissions can be offset, in whole or
in part, by decreases in average length of stay.
Generally, charges for each facility's services are reimbursed under
third-party reimbursement programs at the amount billed or at rates which are
less than the facility's charges. These lower rates can be based on a negotiated
per diem amount or based on the facility's costs as audited or projected by the
third-party payors. When operating revenues (charges) per patient day are higher
than the negotiated per diem rate or the facility's costs, the difference is
recorded as a reduction of gross revenues. Bad debts consist primarily of
commercial and self-pay accounts receivable deemed uncollectible.
The Company records amounts due to or from third-party reimbursement
sources based on its best estimates of amounts to be ultimately received or paid
under cost reports filed with appropriate intermediaries. The final
determination of amounts earned under reimbursement programs is subject to
review and audit by these intermediaries. Differences between amounts recorded
as estimated settlements and the audited amounts are reflected as adjustments to
the Company's net revenues in the period in which the final determination is
made. During the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993, the Company recorded
contractual adjustment benefits of approximately $1,000,000, $1,400,000, and
$2,300,000, respectively. The adjustments were made to reflect the combined
effects of intermediary audits and the routine evaluation of prior year
estimated settlements. There can be no assurances that any future adjustments
will be of a favorable nature or of a magnitude comparable to those made in
fiscal 1995, 1994, or 1993.
Several years ago, the Federal Government established a funding
mechanism, known as disproportionate share, which was meant to adequately
reimburse facilities serving a disproportionately high volume of Medicaid
patients, relative to other providers. Disproportionate share funding was
established under Title XIX of the Social Security Act, administered at the
State level and approved/overseen by the Health Care Financing Administration,
since Medicaid services are jointly funded by each State as well as the Federal
Government. In fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company received
significant disproportionate share payments from State Medicaid programs,
particularly in Louisiana. Statutory changes significantly decreased the level
of disproportionate share payments received by the Louisiana facilities in
fiscal year 1995 and the Company expects that any payments made under this
program after fiscal year 1995 will be minimal.
Management determined that the impact of disproportionate share
payments on income from continuing operations in fiscal 1995 was approximately
$3.7 million. The majority of disproportionate share payments were received at
the Company's Three Rivers facility, which treated primarily Medicaid-eligible
adolescents diagnosed with various behavioral disorders.
21
This facility was further adversely impacted by the State of Louisiana's
application of significantly more restrictive admission criteria in December
1994 for adolescents seeking inpatient psychiatric treatment in the State. Due
to a negative operating margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 and a
significant decrease in admissions since December 1994, on June 30, 1995, the
Company closed Three Rivers Hospital and consolidated the operations of this
facility with the Company's facility located less than five miles away
(Greenbrier Hospital). The Company believes this consolidation will result in
cost savings as well as enhance the operating performance of Greenbrier in
fiscal 1996.
In recent years, approximately 5% to 10% of the Company's patient
revenues have come from CHAMPUS since some of the Company's hospitals are in
close proximity to major military installations in the United States. Congress
has imposed a reduction in the annual reimbursable length of stay for patients
covered by the mental health benefits of CHAMPUS, a federal government health
benefit program for the members (active and retired) of all seven uniformed
services and their families. Effective October 1, 1991, CHAMPUS began to limit
its coverage for hospital psychiatric services to 30 days for adult patients, 45
days for child and adolescent patients and 150 days for RTC services, subject to
waivers which will be available under limited circumstances if an extension of
the length of stay can be justified. The lengths of stay currently experienced
by the Company on CHAMPUS adult, child and adolescent beneficiaries have
generally been within the above limits. Given that certain of the Company's
facilities are located in close proximity to major military installations, these
limits have reduced the volume of CHAMPUS patients treated at the Company's
facilities.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain
items of the Company's consolidated statements of operations as a percentage of
the Company's net revenues. The discussion following this table quantifies the
significant fluctuations in amounts reported in the Company's consolidated
statements of operations between periods.

1995 COMPARED TO 1994
The following are the significant changes in the Company's operations
between 1995 and 1994. These changes affect the comparison of revenues and
operating expenses of the Company between years as discussed below.
* In October 1993, the Company, through its subsidiary RMCI, entered the
managed mental health business through its acquisition of FPM. This
business was expanded in June 1994 with the acquisition of an Arizona-
based managed mental health business and, in succeeding months, with
the execution of additional contracts for the provision of managed
mental health care. The revenues and expenses of RMCI and its
subsidiaries were included in the Company's revenues and expenses from
October 1993 to April 24, 1995, when the RMCI Distribution was
effected.
* In February 1994, the Company sold its Atlantic Shores facility in
Daytona Beach, Florida. In addition, the Company closed several day
treatment centers and outpatient clinics during 1994 and 1995 due to
negative operating margins. The sale and these closures are
hereinafter referred to as the "sold/closed facilities".
* The Company opened four subacute units throughout the period (one in
the middle of fiscal 1994, two in late fiscal 1994 and one in the
middle of fiscal 1995).
* The Company expanded its contract services division during fiscal
1995.
__________________________
Net revenues for fiscal 1995 were $136.4 million, compared to $137.0
million in fiscal 1994. The material changes in net revenues consisted of (a) a
$12.6 million decrease (11%) in same facility net inpatient revenues, (b) a $2.9
million increase (21%) in same facility net outpatient revenues, (c) a $4.5
million increase in net revenues attributable to the Company's subacute
operations, (d) a $7.1 million increase (from $5.8 million to $12.9 million) in
net revenues related to RMCI, (e) a $0.6 million increase (from $0.5 million to
$1.1 million) in revenues associated with contract services and (f) a $3.1
million decrease in net patient revenues related to the sold/closed facilities
(excluding the Three Rivers facility, which was closed on June 30, 1995 but is
included in the same facility totals throughout this discussion).
Same facility net inpatient revenues decreased $12.6 million between
years. Of this amount, $8.7 million was related to a reduction in
disproportionate share payments by the Federal and State governments to the
Company's two Louisiana facilities treating a disproportionately high volume of
Medicaid patients (relative to other providers). Disproportionate share
payments were severely restricted by Congress effective July 1, 1995.
Accordingly, the Company expects that any future payments made under this
program will be minimal.
23
Excluding the change in disproportionate share payments between
periods, same facility net inpatient revenues decreased approximately $3.9
million. Of this amount, $3.6 million is attributable to the decline in
admissions at the Three Rivers facility, which decline resulted from the State
of Louisiana's application of significantly more restrictive admission criteria
to facilities in the State treating the behavioral disorders of adolescents.
The inpatient census at this facility decreased from an average of 65 patients
in fiscal 1994 to 36 patients in fiscal 1995, with an average of 20 patients
subsequent to December 1, 1994 when the new admission rules became effective.
As stated earlier, on June 30, 1995, the Company closed Three Rivers Hospital
and consolidated the operations of this facility with its Greenbrier facility
located less than five miles away.
Excluding the above factors, net inpatient revenues related to all
other inpatient facilities were stable and patient days and admissions related
to these facilities increased 4.5% and 10%, respectively, between periods. The
growth rate in admissions exceeded that in patient days due to an overall
decline in the inpatient average length of stay from 17.6 days in 1994 to 15.7
days in 1995. In addition, these facilities experienced a decrease in net
inpatient revenue per patient day due to a continued shift in patient mix from
charge-based payors to cost-based and negotiated per-diem rate payors. Net
revenue per patient day on cost-based and negotiated per-diem rate payors is
generally less than that for charge-based payors. In addition, the rates
received from per-diem rate payors has declined between periods. The percentage
of the Company's net revenues related to charge-based payors decreased from 21%
in 1994 to 17% in 1995.
Same facility net outpatient revenues totalled $17.0 million in 1995
(which comprised 14.6% of total same facility net patient revenues in fiscal
1995) compared to $14.1 million in 1994 (or 11.3% of same facility net patient
revenues in fiscal 1994). This increase is due to demands by third-party payors
for increased outpatient treatment protocols and an expansion of outpatient
service levels, and a market focus by facility administrators on increasing
partial hospitalization day services.
Total salaries, wages and benefits in fiscal 1995 were $72.1 million,
compared to $64.8 million in fiscal 1994. The material changes in this expense
item consisted of (a) a $1.7 million (or 3.0%) increase in same facility
salaries, wages and benefits (from $56.9 million in fiscal 1994 to $58.6 million
in fiscal 1995), (b) an increase in salaries, wages and benefits of $2.1 million
attributable to the Company's subacute operations, (c) a $3.9 million increase
(from $1.6 million to $5.5 million) in salaries, wages and benefits related to
RMCI, (d) a $0.7 million increase in salaries, wages and benefits associated
with contract services and (e) a $1.2 million decrease in salaries, wages and
benefits attributable to the sold/closed facilities.
Other operating expenses in fiscal 1995 were $44.7 million, compared
to $42.9 million in fiscal 1994. The material changes in other operating
expenses consisted of (a) a $2.3 million decrease (6%) in same facility other
operating expenses (from $41.9 million in fiscal 1994 to $39.6 million in fiscal
1995), (b) an increase in other operating expenses of $3.4 million attributable
to the subacute operations, (c) a $2.8 million increase (from $3.4 million to
$6.2 million) in other operating expenses related to RMCI, (d) a $0.2 million
increase in other operating expenses associated with contract services and (e) a
decrease of $2.2 million in other operating expenses attributable to the
sold/closed facilities. The decrease in same facility other
24
operating expenses was due to focused cost-cutting initiatives within these
facilities during the year.
The provision for doubtful accounts in fiscal 1995 was $5.1 million,
compared to $5.8 million in fiscal 1994. A $1.2 million decrease in same
facility provision for doubtful accounts (from $5.7 million in fiscal 1994 to
$4.5 million in fiscal 1995) was offset by increases in the provision for
doubtful accounts associated with subacute and contract services of $0.1 million
and $0.3 million, respectively. The decrease in same facility provision for
doubtful accounts was primarily the result of a continued shift in patient mix
and the corresponding shift from charge-based payors (which requires a larger
amount to be paid by the patient) to cost-based and negotiated per-diem rate
payors, particularly state governments and other government agency payors which
administer Medicaid programs. For fiscal 1995, approximately 83% of the
Company's net revenues were related to cost-based and negotiated per-diem rate
payors, compared to 79% in fiscal 1994. See "Item 1. Business--Sources of
Revenue".
Depreciation and amortization in fiscal 1995 totalled $7.3 million,
compared to $6.8 million in fiscal 1994. The overall change in this expense
item was primarily due to (a) a $0.5 million increase in depreciation and
amortization related to subacute operations, (b) a $0.5 million increase in
depreciation and amortization related to RMCI and (c) $0.5 million decrease in
depreciation and amortization attributable to the sold/closed facilities.
Interest expense decreased from $8.9 million in 1994 to $8.3 million
in 1995. Debt levels were reduced between periods through scheduled principal
payments of (a) $5.65 million on the Company's senior secured notes, (b) $0.5
million on the Company's subordinated secured notes and (c) $0.8 million on the
Company's variable rate demand revenue bonds. In addition, on May 1, 1995, the
Company prepaid $7.5 million of principal on the senior secured notes and, in
connection with the sale of Atlantic Shores Hospital in February 1994, the
variable rate demand revenue bonds associated with that facility, totalling $4.3
million, were redeemed. The reduction in interest as a result of these
principal payments was offset by an increase in interest rates on the variable
rate demand revenue bonds, interest on the working capital facility drawing and
interest incurred in fiscal 1995 prior to the RMCI Distribution on debt incurred
in connection with RMCI acquisitions made during the second half of fiscal 1994.
In fiscal 1995, the Company reported a loss associated with sales and
closures of facilities of $6.4 million. This amount is comprised of the
following significant items:
1. Sale/Leaseback Transaction: On April 12, 1995, the Company
consummated a sale/leaseback transaction whereby the Company sold the land,
buildings and fixed equipment of two of its inpatient facilities for $12.5
million and agreed to lease these properties back over a term of 15 years (with
three successive renewal options of five years each). The leases, which are
treated as operating leases under generally accepted accounting principles,
require aggregate annual minimum rental payments of $1.54 million, payable
monthly. Beginning April 1, 1996, the lease payments are subject to any upward
adjustment (not to exceed 3% annually) to the Consumer Price Index over the
preceding 12 months.
Net sale proceeds associated with this transaction totalled $12.1
million which, when compared to the net book value of assets sold of $15.7
million, resulted in a loss of $3.6
25
million. On May 1, 1995, the Company utilized a portion of the proceeds from the
above transaction and prepaid $7.5 million of principal due on the senior
secured notes as follows: $3.5 million due on September 30, 1995, $3.5 million
due on March 31, 1996 and $0.5 million due on September 30, 1996. In connection
with this prepayment, the Company wrote down a proportionate amount of
unamortized loan costs related to the senior secured notes, totalling $229,000,
and incurred a yield maintenance charge from the holders of the senior secured
notes, totalling $234,000. These amounts are reported as a loss from early
extinguishment of debt, net of applicable income taxes, in the 1995 statement of
operations.
2. Real Estate Sales: In March and April 1995, the Company sold
certain real estate located in Flagstaff, Arizona and Houston, Texas,
respectively. These properties were acquired for development approximately 10
years ago and had an aggregate book value of $1.15 million. Net proceeds from
the sale of this real estate totalled approximately $0.75 million, resulting in
a recorded loss of $0.4 million.
3. Closure of Day Treatment and Other Outpatient Operations: During
1995, the Company closed its remaining day treatment centers as well as certain
outpatient clinics which were producing negative operating margins. In addition,
the Company recorded cost report settlements and asset write-downs totalling
$380,000 and $190,000, respectively, which became evident in 1995 subsequent to
these closures and the closure of day treatment centers in late fiscal 1994.
Finally, the Company sold an outpatient rehabilitation clinic in San Antonio,
Texas in June 1995. The total losses incurred related to these events was
approximately $1,300,000.
4. Closure of Three Rivers Hospital: The Company recorded certain
losses, totalling approximately $0.2 million, resulting from its decision to
close Three Rivers Hospital on June 30, 1995 and consolidate the operations of
this facility with its Greenbrier facility.
5. Development Projects: The Company pursued several development
opportunities during the year including the potential acquisition of a
competitor, the development of rural health clinics and the potential
acquisition of a contract management company. These efforts were abandoned or
otherwise terminated during the year resulting in a charge against earnings of
approximately $800,000.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company decided to terminate
its development activities related to its day treatment division and to close
certain of these centers due to the poor operating performance of this division.
In addition, the Company also decided to close four outpatient clinics related
to its Heartland Hospital facility during this quarter. Finally, certain
adjustments were made which resulted in gain recognition on the sale of Atlantic
Shores Hospital facility, which was sold in February 1994. The total net losses
related to these closures and sale was $802,000.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement Number 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" (the "Statement"). The Statement
requires companies to compare the recorded values of long-lived assets (defined
as land, buildings, fixed equipment and related cost in excess of net asset
value of purchased businesses) against the expected future cash flows to be
generated by these assets. The Company elected to adopt the Statement in the
26
fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 and, after applying the principles of measurement
contained in the Statement and the Company's expectations, recorded a charge
against earnings, before taxes, of $20.3 million. This amount is reflected as
an asset impairment charge in the accompanying 1995 statement of operations.
See "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
The Company is a minority stockholder in an enterprise which operates
primary care medical clinics on United States' military bases in Germany.
Based on a reassessment in June 1995 of the future expected cash flows to be
realized by the Company from this business, the Company determined its
investment in this venture was impaired. The amount of this impairment, $1.5
million, is reflected as an asset impairment charge in the accompanying 1995
statement of operations.
Minority interests reflects the limited partner's share of net income
of Three Rivers Hospital and, from October 1994 through April 24, 1995, the
minority shareholders' share of net income of RMCI. The amount related to RMCI
was not material in fiscal 1995.
As mentioned previously, effective April 24, 1995, the Company
effected the RMCI Distribution. For the period July 1, 1994 to April 24, 1995,
net revenues of RMCI totalled $12.9 million (9.5% of total consolidated net
revenues of the Company). However, the operating results of RMCI for this
period, which were impacted by management fees payable to the Company totalling
$237,000, were not material to the consolidated operating results of the
Company. Management fees paid to the Company by all of the Company's
subsidiaries, including RMCI, represent reimbursement to the Company of its
indirect costs for providing financial oversight, information systems and other
support. The amount of such fees are determined based upon an estimate of the
amount of time spent by Company employees in providing such services. These
management fees are eliminated upon consolidation and have no effect on the
consolidated results of operations of the Company.
1994 COMPARED TO 1993
Net revenues for fiscal 1994 were $137.0 million, compared to $136.4
million in fiscal 1993. The material changes in net revenues consisted of (a)
an $11.1 million decrease (9%) in net inpatient revenues, (b) a $5.2 million
increase (43%) in net outpatient revenues and (c) $5.5 million of net revenues
associated with managed care businesses acquired during fiscal 1994. The
overall decrease in net inpatient revenues was attributable to the sale of the
Cumberland and Atlantic Shores Hospital facilities during fiscal 1994 and the
lease of the Harbor Oaks Hospital facility during mid-fiscal 1993 (the
"sold/leased facilities"). Same facility net inpatient revenues remained stable
between fiscal years as the increase in net inpatient revenues associated with
the Three Rivers facility, which was fully operational during all of fiscal 1994
but only four and one-half months in fiscal 1993, offset declines in net
inpatient revenues at the Company's other facilities during fiscal 1994. The
increase in net outpatient revenues was attributable to an increase in same
facility and free-standing outpatient clinic net revenue of $4.8 million (of
which $1.3 million relates to the Three Rivers facility) and $1.9 million,
respectively, net of a $1.5 million decrease in net outpatient revenues
associated with the sold/leased facilities. The increase in outpatient revenues
is due to an expansion of partial hospitalization day programs and other
outpatient services by the Company's inpatient facilities.
27
Net outpatient revenues comprised 14.2% of total net patient revenues
for fiscal 1994 compared to 9.5% for the prior year. In addition, with respect
to the Company's inpatient business, same facility admissions in fiscal 1994
increased 5% over fiscal 1993 while same facility average length of stay
decreased from 18.3 days in fiscal 1993 to 17.6 days in fiscal 1994.
Total salaries, wages and benefits in fiscal 1994 were $64.8 million,
compared to $63.8 million in fiscal 1993. The material changes in this expense
item consisted of (a) a $4.3 million increase in same facility salaries, wages
and benefits (from $52.6 million in fiscal 1993 to $56.9 million in fiscal
1994), (b) salaries, wages, and benefits of $1.7 million attributable to managed
care businesses acquired during fiscal 1994, (c) $1.1 million of salaries, wages
and benefits attributable to subacute and management contract operations which
began during fiscal 1994 and (d) a decrease of $6.1 million in salaries, wages
and benefits attributable to the sold/leased facilities. The increase in same
facility salaries, wages and benefits was due primarily to a $3.7 million
increase at the Three Rivers Hospital facility.
Other operating expenses in fiscal 1994 were $42.9 million, compared
to $40.5 million in fiscal 1993. The material changes in other operating
expenses consisted of (a) a $1.7 million increase in same facility other
operating expenses (from $30.5 million in fiscal 1993 to $32.2 million in fiscal
1994), (b) other operating expenses of $3.3 million attributable to managed care
businesses acquired during fiscal 1994, (c) other operating expenses of $0.8
million attributable to subacute and management contract operations and (d) a
decrease of $4.0 million in other operating expenses attributable to the
sold/leased facilities. The increase in same facility other operating expenses
was due to a $2.1 million increase at the Three Rivers Hospital facility, net of
a $0.4 million decrease at the Company's other inpatient facilities.
The provision for doubtful accounts in fiscal 1994 was $5.8 million,
compared to $8.1 million in fiscal 1993. Same facility provision for doubtful
accounts decreased to $5.8 million in fiscal 1994 (from $7.2 million in fiscal
1993) and the provision for doubtful accounts attributable to the sold/leased
facilities was negligible in fiscal 1994 (compared to $0.9 million in fiscal
1993). The provision for doubtful accounts in fiscal 1994 attributable to the
Three Rivers Hospital facility, acquired managed care businesses and subacute
and management contract operations was not material. The decrease in same
facility provision for doubtful accounts was primarily the result of a continued
shift in patient mix and the corresponding shift from charge-based payors (which
requires a larger amount to be paid by the patient) to cost-based and negotiated
per diem rate payors, particularly state governments and other governmental
agency payors which administer Medicaid programs. For fiscal 1994,
approximately 80% of the Company's net revenues were related to cost-based and
negotiated per diem rate payors, compared to 75% in fiscal 1993. See "Item 1.
Business--Sources of Revenue."
Depreciation and amortization in fiscal 1994 totalled $6.8 million,
compared to $6.6 million in fiscal 1993. The overall change in this expense
item was primarily due to (a) increased depreciation and amortization of $0.5
million attributable to the same facilities (approximately $0.2 million of
which was due to the Three Rivers Hospital facility, which incurred this expense
for a full year in fiscal 1994), (b) $0.4 million related to managed care
28
businesses acquired during fiscal 1994 and (c) a decrease of $0.9 million in
depreciation and amortization attributable to the sold/leased facilities.
Interest and other financing charges decreased from $9.5 million for
fiscal 1993 to $8.9 million for fiscal 1994. The decrease is attributable to
reduced levels of debt during fiscal 1994.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company decided to terminate
its development activities related to its day treatment division and to close
certain of these centers due to the poor operating performance of this division.
In addition, the Company also decided to close four outpatient clinics related
to its Heartland Hospital facility during this quarter. Finally, certain
adjustments were made which resulted in gain recognition on the sale of its
Atlantic Shores Hospital facility, which was sold in February 1994. The total
net losses related to these closures and sale was $802,000.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company recorded a loss
of $1,109,000 due to the closure of its leased facility, Oak Grove Hospital.
The loss included provisions for severance expense and other expenses incurred
in connection with the termination of this lease. During the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1993, the Company signed a letter of intent to sell its Cumberland
Hospital facility for approximately $12.3 million. In connection with this
decision, the Company recorded a provision for loss relating primarily to the
unamortized amount of cost in excess of net asset value of purchased businesses
of $3.6 million. In addition, the terms and conditions of a lease agreement
pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease its Harbor Oaks Hospital facility
to a third party were satisfied during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1993. As a
result, the Company recorded a loss of $2.8 million, which amount represented
the excess of the facility's net book value over the purchase option price
contained in the lease. Finally, during this quarter the Company decided to
terminate its efforts to develop psychiatric facilities in certain markets and
write-off certain deferred loan costs in connection with the consummation of the
Company's new credit agreement in May 1993. The total losses related to these
decisions ($1,367,000) is included under "Restructuring and other charges" in
the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations for fiscal 1993.
Minority interests reflects the limited partners of Three Rivers
Hospital's share of income before income taxes at that facility.
The Company recognized an after-tax loss of $155,000 in 1994 from
early extinguishment of the industrial revenue bonds in connection with the sale
of Atlantic Shores Hospital. The Company recognized a loss of $1,580,000 on
early extinguishment of a 16.1% subordinated note in fiscal 1993. These losses
are reflected as extraordinary items in the consolidated statements of
operations.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The psychiatric hospital industry is labor intensive, and wages and
related expenses increase in inflationary periods. Additionally, suppliers
generally seek to pass along rising costs to the Company in the form of higher
prices. The Company monitors the operations of its facilities to mitigate the
effect of inflation and increases in the costs of health care. To
29
the extent possible, the Company seeks to offset increased costs through
increased rates, new programs, and operating efficiencies. However,
reimbursement arrangements may hinder the Company's ability to realize the full
effect of rate increases. To date, inflation has not had a significant impact on
operations.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company records amounts to or from third-party contractual
agencies (Medicare, Medicaid and Blue Cross) based on its best estimate, using
the principles of cost reimbursement, of amounts to be ultimately received or
paid under current and prior years' cost reports filed (or to be filed) with the
appropriate intermediaries. Ultimate settlements and other lump-sum adjustments
due from and paid to these intermediaries occur at various times during the
fiscal year. At June 30, 1995, amounts due from Medicare, Medicaid and Blue
Cross totalled $3,273,000, $1,206,000 and $1,477,000, respectively. Also at
June 30, 1995, amounts due to Medicare, Medicaid and Blue Cross totalled
$4,114,000, $835,000 and $47,000, respectively.
Restricted cash at June 30, 1994 represented remaining proceeds from
the sale of Cumberland Hospital in August 1993. These monies were held in trust
and, during the current fiscal year, were used to fund the September 30, 1994
principal payment and approximately 60% of the March 31, 1995 principal payment
due on the senior secured notes and the subordinated secured notes.
At June 30, 1995, total net cash advances made by the Company to or on
behalf of RMCI, for purposes of partially funding acquisitions and for working
capital and other corporate purposes, totalled $7.4 million. Of this amount, $6
million is represented by an unsecured, interest-bearing (8%), subordinated
promissory note due from RMCI and issued on October 25, 1994. Interest on the
subordinated promissory note is payable quarterly commencing June 30, 1995 and
principal is payable over a four-year period in equal quarterly installments
commencing September 30, 1996. The remaining balance owed by RMCI to RHCI, $1.4
million, is governed by a Distribution Agreement which provides that $600,000 is
payable by RMCI on or before October 21, 1995 (or on such other terms and
conditions as mutually agreed to by RMCI and RHCI), with the balance due and
payable on or before December 31, 1996, together with interest at 7% per annum
beginning October 21, 1995. As of June 30, 1995, RMCI had paid the Company
$275,000 of the amount due on or before October 21, 1995.
As of the date of the RMCI Distribution in April 1995, the assets and
liabilities of RMCI were no longer reflected on the Company's balance sheet.
The significant components of the Company's consolidated balance sheet impacted
by the distribution were: (a) current assets (decrease of $3 million), (b) cost
in excess of net asset value of purchased businesses (decrease of $10 million),
(c) receivable due from RMCI (increase of $8 million), (d) other noncurrent
assets (decrease of $4 million), (e) property and equipment (decrease of $1
million), (f) current liabilities (decrease of $4 million), (g) long-term debt
(decrease of $2 million), (h) minority interests payable (decrease of $3
million) and (i) additional paid-in capital (decrease of $1 million).
30
During the year ended June 30, 1995, amounts owed to minority
interests decreased by $1.9 million. During this period, distributions to the
minority partners in the Three Rivers Hospital Limited Partnership reduced the
amount owed by $2.5 million, compared to the partners' share of the income of
the partnership during this period, which increased the amount owed, by $0.9
million. Also included in amounts owed to minority interests at June 30, 1994
was $0.3 million related to minority stockholders of RMCI. This amount was
removed from the Company's consolidated balance sheet in April 1995 after the
RMCI Distribution.
In March and April 1995, the Company sold certain real estate located
in Flagstaff, Arizona and Houston, Texas, respectively. These properties were
reported as "Real estate held for sale" on the June 1994 balance sheet. Upon
the sale of the properties, the recorded value, totalling $1.15 million, was
removed from the consolidated balance sheet.
In April 1995, the Company consummated a sale/leaseback transaction
whereby the Company sold the land, buildings and fixed equipment of two of its
inpatient facilities for a net sale price of $12.1 million and agreed to lease
this property back over a term of 15 years (with three successive renewal
options of 5 years each). The leases are accounted for as operating leases
under generally accepted accounting principles and, accordingly, the Company's
basis in the assets sold, totalling $15.7 million, was removed from its
consolidated balance sheet in April 1995. On May 1, 1995, the Company utilized
certain of the proceeds from this transaction and prepaid $7.5 million of
principal due on its senior secured notes outstanding. The amount prepaid was
applied against the scheduled principal payments due on the senior secured notes
in September 1995 and March 1996. Accordingly, there are no current maturities
associated with this debt obligation as of June 30, 1995.
In June 1995, the Company elected to adopt, prior to the time it was
required to do so, the Statement and recorded a write-down of fixed and
intangible assets associated with four facilities totalling $20.3 million. In
accordance with the Statement, these facilities' carrying amount of cost in
excess of net asset value of purchased businesses, totalling $3.8 million, was
eliminated prior to making a reduction of these facilities' carrying amounts of
impaired property and equipment. This latter impairment, which totalled $16.5
million, was recorded pursuant to the Statement as a direct reduction in the
cost basis of the related property and equipment (rather than as an increase to
accumulated depreciation on these assets). The estimated depreciable lives
associated with these assets was then adjusted for future years.
The Company has net deferred tax assets of approximately $8.7 million
at June 30, 1995. Management has considered the effects of implementing tax
planning strategies, consisting of the sales of certain appreciated property, as
the primary basis for not recognizing a valuation allowance related to its
deferred tax assets at June 30, 1995. The ultimate realization of deferred tax
assets may be affected by changes in the underlying values of the properties
considered in the Company's tax planning strategies, which values are dependent
upon the operating results and cash flows of the individual properties. The
Company plans to evaluate the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a
quarterly basis by reviewing its tax planning strategies and assessing the need
for a valuation allowance.
31
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On February 10, 1994, the Company sold its Atlantic Shores Hospital
for $4.8 million. The $4.3 million outstanding balance of the industrial
revenue bonds associated with this facility was repaid with the proceeds from
such sale.
On August 31, 1993, the Company sold its Cumberland Hospital facility
for $12.3 million. Of the total proceeds, $10.9 million was restricted for the
repayment of principal payments due on the senior and subordinated secured
notes. At June 30, 1994, $5.3 million was still available and included in
restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet for such use. This amount was
used during fiscal 1995 to fully satisfy principal payments due on September 30,
1994 and partially satisfy principal payments due on March 31, 1995.
The Company's credit facilities include, net of a $7.5 million
prepayment on the senior secured notes in May 1995, $34.2 million in senior
secured notes, approximately $21 million in letters of credit, $2.3 million in
subordinated secured notes and, after the sale/leaseback transaction in April
1995, $2 million in a working capital facility. The senior secured notes bear
interest at 11.6% and, on September 30, 1996, resume semi-annual principal
payments of approximately $3.5 million through September 30, 1998 and semi-
annual principal payments of $5.65 million from March 31, 1999 through March 31,
2000. The subordinated secured notes bear interest at 15.6% and require semi-
annual principal payments of $0.2 million through March 31, 2000. Required
annual principal payments on the variable rate demand revenue bonds total $0.8
million through year 2000 and $0.9 million to $1.3 million in years 2001 through
2015. Amounts outstanding under the working capital facility, which bear
interest at a variable rate, totalled $1.5 million at June 30, 1995. The amount
drawn is structured as a revolving credit loan, bearing interest at 8.6% and
renewable in 30, 60 and 90-day increments, at the option of the Company. Under
the provisions of the Company's Credit Agreement, which governs the terms of the
letters of credit and the working capital facility, amounts outstanding under
the working capital facility must be reduced to zero for 30 consecutive days in
each fiscal year. In August 1995, the Company and banks supporting the Credit
Agreement agreed in principle to terms which will extend the expiration date of
the Credit Agreement from May 15, 1996 to February 15, 1997. In connection with
this extension, the Company agreed to reduce the banks' exposure by $2.8 million
on or before December 31, 1995 and an additional $3 million on or before July 1,
1996.
At the current time, the Company does not have any commitments to make
any material capital expenditures. The Company's current primary cash
requirements relate to its normal operating and debt service expenses, routine
capital improvements at its facilities and selective expansion of outpatient
programs and services. In addition, at the current time, the Company's specific
development projects include expansion of its contract services division and its
network of affiliations with medical/surgical hospitals and other healthcare
providers. Construction costs related to the Company's subacute business were
completed during fiscal 1995 and this business began generating positive cash
flow from operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995. Also, in June 1994
and throughout 1995, the Company closed outpatient day treatment centers and
other outpatient clinics which were experiencing negative cash flow.
32
On the basis of its historical cash collection experience and
projected cash needs, the Company believes that its internally generated funds
from operations, together with its working capital facility, remaining proceeds
from the April 1995 sale/leaseback transaction ($4.4 million), and funds derived
from any future asset sales will be sufficient to fund its current cash
requirements, commitments to reduce bank borrowings and future identifiable
needs. The Company does not at this time have any pending agreement to sell any
of its assets.
